17 April 2011 - Alex's Beef Patties for Hamburgers
Another weekend, another engagement party, another Sunday night attempt at cooking due to a whole week of laziness! It was time to have a crack at Alex’s Beef Patties for Hamburgers.
I've got two hamburger patty recipes in my book already, so I've been looking forward to the competition that might arise from trying out these dishes! I decided to try Alex’s first, as they were in my book first (and I had almost all of the ingredients so wouldn't have to do much shopping).
The recipe is very easy and lots of fun to make. They were a darker colour than I'd imagined, but I had no reason for the image in my mind. The best part was definitely getting to mix it with my hands - particularly squeezing the egg and popping the yolk (something I thought I'd find gross, but actually really enjoyed).
It was very simple. I got to use the BBQ all by myself as Sian wasn't home and I felt very cool (in my glasses and my pyjamas and my post-braid crimped hair). It all went really smoothly. The patties fell apart a bit on the BBQ, but I don't know what I could have done about that really. They were delicious and I'm counting it as a hands down success!
I didn't know how to clean the BBQ so told Sian to check it the next morning. She cleaned it but roused on me for not turning off the gas. I said "I didn't have to turn it on so I thought it must just disconnect itself like Dad’s" to which she replied "Dad’s doesn't do that"... Epic fail. May now be responsible for empty gas bottles across the country!
Tips: Find out how to use the BBQ before claiming it was successful! Also, even though Alex wouldn't like it, it's not worth having a hamburger if you don't have beetroot!
